These are audio recordings of most of the books in the Tanakh (Hebrew Old Testament), read by Rabbi Dan Be'eri in Sephardi Hebrew.  Some small parts of the Tanakh were written (and thus recorded) in Aramaic.

The reader recorded two incomplete versions of the Tanakh, which are freely available on the Internet.  One is normal narration, and the other is cantillated (sung).  Each collection contains books which are not found in the other collection.  The compiler of this collection simply combined these two versions to produce the most complete recording possible, and made minor edits wherever necessary to remove annoyances such as long silences or accidentally-repeated words.  Where there were both narrated and cantillated versions of any section, the narrated version was used.

The cantillation is according to the musical tradition of the Jews of Aleppo, as taught by Rabbi Mordecai Attiya.

This combined version is missing about one third of the Tanakh.
